EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDING-RIOT IN A ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAP L. (Extract of a Letter 'from Birr, dated yesterday.) The late Roman Catholic Rector of Bier was an old, infirm man, and his ,business was discharged by a Curate of the name of Crotty, for a considerable time. Of the eheracter of the latter ypu may form an idea, when - I tell you 'he bas undergone an imprisonment (within the last 12 months) in the common, gaol,, for a violent and aggravated assault on a peaceable and inoffensive man. The, old Rector has milled on a serann uated salary, and t he BishOti gave. the living to Mr. Kennedy, late Roman Catholic Rector of Liiirah; who, either disliking Crotty's character, or wish• inii to discharge the duty himself, gave Crotty notice to quit; this the latter peremptorily refused, and the Bishop, to quiet him, gave him a small living in L imerick, to which he went. However, the Birr ladies, after a short trial of Kennedy, not finding him equal to Crotty, swore; they would not have any but the latter; and no wonder. :Ken , Judy is a little fat man, Crotty strappi ng able fellow, six het one inch, and shoulders a ' ' Kenned y thundered, Crotty 1..

Crotty; latter performed mass better tl" ever ; things welt on in this manner for two months; 'a° at length Kennedy waxed pugnacious, and on Sinid 'ay weak attempted to stornt the altar, vi et annis. ' . _ Kennedy immediately issued a proclamation denouncing Crotty and his men. A man, named Simmonds, (tinder the auspices of an attorney, named Cooke), answeted it, threatening the vengeance.of the law On K e nnedy and Isis friends; but on yesterday' morning the crisis arrived.-- The first mass was celebrated by Crotty without interrup tion; but when the 'record was commencing, a carriage drove up to the Chapel door, containing Lord Rosse, the Roman Catholic Bishop, and Kennedy ; at the same time the 06th Regiment, under Major Baird, (Colonel Nicol' was at Church), approached from the barrac4; the sown police, under Captain Peartilough, came from Birr; atlu Wong the Kennely-road advanced. another body', of po lice, Major ,Judge, who headed the crusade at Moutitinellich. ; Yfr. Crotty retired from the Atli; the Bi s hop advanced ; sad the people W ere qu i et, tin they found he was excommunicating Crotty by bell, boa, land candle-light ; ' immediately the hisses and groaviii were deafening ; the Bishop , paused—the signal was given, and, i n an instant, ;two hundred soldiers, with. fixed bayonets, entered the chapel, and; in all probibilitY, saved his life. The people became outrageous, and the soldiers and police s immediately took the; most refractory prisoners, and, • after great exertion, the Bishop - then formally and regularly excommunicated Crotty, and under a strong guard returned to the Castle. I suppose not less than 10,000 people were as sembled, and they unanimously, expressed their determine.. tion never to pay Kennedy silpence. The same guard Will be necessary every Sunday, as Crotty is determined tiot'to give up,—A strong guard was *kept through .the town and neighbourhood, and it wit* a late hour before the mob were finally dispersed.---Dublin Correspinlent.

By E. lIENDICKSON, I vol. Brio. 182.6. This work will be read with much interest by all friends to the diffusion of Christian knowledge, and the circulation of the Scriptures ; it contains the nar rative of a journey performed by the Author hi the years 1821 and 22, in company with his friend Dr. Paterson, and in part, with Mr. Serof, Assistant Secretary to the Russian Bible Soeiety. The excur sion extended through a large portion of the Southern and. Eastern Governments of the Russian Empire. The character of the work differs from that of an ordinary tour; to the description of scenery, Manners, &c. but a very secondary place is assigned. The main object of the Tour was of a religious nature, and it was designed to advance the interests of the Bible Society ; so that to the detail of the state and pro ceedings of that, and other kindred institutions, the main portion of the Work is devoted. The Reader is presented with the results of the Author's enquiries into the condition and operations of these institutions throughout all the great extent of territory which he traversed ; he has paid - particular attention to collect inginforrnStion as to all the versions of the Holy Scriptures. which appeared in these regions, and has accumulated a large enumeration and description of them. He is very, sanguine .in his expectations of the success which is to attend the exertions of the ,Rus sian Bible Society; and in discussing the prospects of the Missionary among the half-barbarous Heathen or Maliometan tribes, whose territory' ,borders on, or is included within, the Russian dominions'; he displays . much , discretion, and a sober dispassionate judgment, onited with the must fervent zeal for the cause, of Christianity. We extract the following i r assages, descriptive of the exertions made for the di usunt of the Gospel at Astr.d. tan " It was with feelings of no ordinary interest that the author entered the gates, of Astrakhan. For nearly three years his atten.. tion had been directed to that town, as the centre of an important sphere of Biblical operations ; his furniture and library had been forwarded from St. Petersburgh the preceding summer, and corn modions rooms in the Mission-house had been kindly allotted for his residence, He was, therefore, naturally anxious to turn his temporary stay in the place to the beat possible account, by in vestigating the state and character of its iuliabitante, and the fa cilities which might be presented for the attainment of his 'object; by 'the connections established between them and the inhabitants of different parts of Asia; but he hid not been snore than two or three days in the tows, when he was again attacked with the ague, from which he was but just convalescent. With the ex ception of 'a visit, which, in company with his fellow-traveller, and their mutual friend, Mr. Mitchell, he paid to the vineyard of the Archbishop, whither they were conveyed, after dining with his Grace, he scarcely left the walls of the Mission-house during he period of his stay " The subjects which principally engaged our attention, were ltose relating to the translation and cir,nlation of the Scriptures Ln the Turkish and Persic languages. • " Excepting the Turkish New Testament, published by Sea• man, its 1666, and certain parts of the same reprinted at Halle about the beginning of last century, no other portions of the Sa cred Volume made their appearance in that language, till the ex ertions of. the Scottish Missionaries at karass ware brought to bear- ors-ther impotent ,:object:' of slitfusiugi the light of Pti'itte Truth among the deluded followers of Mobansmed. Thee* exer tions were commenced by Mr. Henry Brunton, who having pre viously spent some time in the west of Africa, had acquired a knowledge of the Arabic, and was thereby, to a certain extent, prepared for the field which he was afterwards sent 'to cultivate, in the vicinity of the Caucasus. He had only been two years at ICaress, when his knowledge of the Turkish was so matured, an warrant his undertaking a translation of the' New Testament into that language. In executing this work., Mr. B. received consi derable assistance from the version of Seaman, which may, indeed, be said to form the ground-work of his translation ; but be had his eye constantly on the Greek Text, and diligently conducted the English, German, and such other translations as were scow Bible in the peculiar circumstances in which he was placed. 44 It is impossible to take into consideration the next to insuper able difficuties with which the translator and his brethren had tt contend, without feeling convinced, that, as it originated in the suggestions of that Divine Agent who worketh inwardly in his servants, directing theta to the suitable application of their ta lents, so it was accomplished by the special aid of his grace, in order to form the basis of a series of operations, which are, no doubt, destined one day to eradicate the noxious weeds of Mo hammedan growth, and supply their place the trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that lie may be glori fied.' The place at which he was stationed, the character of the surrounding tribes, the unsettled state of public affairs, the dis tance to which the Missionaries wen removed from the neceeluttY materials of typographical labour, the embarrassments in which they were frequently involved, and the limited and continually in terrupted intervals of time, which could be devoted to the work, all tend to excite our admiration of the manner of its execution. The houses erected in the colony were by no means of a substan• tial or comfortable nature ; and the printing-office in particular was so superficially constructed, that during the frost in winter a trough of water, used for wetting the paper, though placed close to the stove, froze into a solid mass in the course of twenty-four hours, and all the iron-work of the press was white with frost. The cold prevented the ink from spreading properly, owing to w hirl), and similar causes, the execution of the press-work was y et i indifferent. Being often alarmed by the Tcherkessians, the Missionaries were obliged to secure the types by interring them. Add to this, that the workmen were continually changing, so that they never rose higher titan learners; and it may safely be affirmed, that there never was an edition of the New Testament, or of any other book, carried through the press under such a tuultitude of untoward circumstances. The invaluable Missionary, Mr. Mtn Mitchell, who conducted the printing, after adverting to these difficultly,' adds, clt is wonderful that we were able to emit:WWl it at all: Let us giie the praisi to God, who in his adorable to g b o ra t n h c r l o i u o g f h th 7 e:o i t t t l i e s; Mission was eom- P m ill en t‘ ce Adesacd anoticed I r l a l ek shov e , d ha ua n i in the year 181 h.

It was built by a Greek, and disposed of by him to the Society, on the most advantageous terms. The ground and. first floors are occupied by the Missionaries, and the third - :supplies room for the domestic chapel and school. In the former of these, public worhip is held every Lord's day, and all the members of the missionary family assemble in it for worship every evening daring the week. Sever! of the childegn had made considerable progress in.the Persic and Tartar languages, and some specimens that they showed us of Persic caligraphy we re exceed ingly beautiful. " Tt is certainly cause of deep regret, that the Directors of the Edinburgh Missionary Society should have come to the determi nation of partially, if not entirely, abandoning Astrakhan as a Missionary station. Their want of success has been eery dis couraging ; but if certain causes, which have hung as ft dead weight en their missions in Russia, could be effectually removed, and more vigorous measures brought into operation, there are, perhaps, few places which present greater facilities for missionary labour than that town. Of this the Basle Society seem, in some measure to be aware, and are sending out labourers into that quarter. May their efforts be crowned with an abundant blessing !"

A meeting of , the lay-payers having been convened by public advertisement, to be held in the Manor-Court-Room, the inhabitants crowded around it at an early hour, and at eleven o'clock, when the doors were opened, the room was immediately filled with .a multitude, which could not be less than 2,000 in number. a g O ei l i t tl t e h m e a i n n , o d t i i s o t ri i n O g f ui M sh r e . d Da b v y id th l e io r l e t, ap h e f e r t „ his fellow-townsmen, took E an d d wa e rd on ß fi a d z a te nc r e . Which are felt towards him by the chair. He relied upon their kind indulgence, whittle endeavoured to fulfil this important duty. The custom, until now, had been to have the meetings . of the town convened by the constituted authorities. But it was con sidered by the committee, appointed by the general body of the requisitionists that the boroughreeves and eon stables were persons not chosen by the people, but by the Steward to the Lord of the Manor, and that, if the committee had felt disposed to consult them, it: was quite certain that they would not have complied . with the requisition. It was considered, then, that this which was the second town in the country, in respect of . its wealth, its extensive commerce, and its numbers, was most improperly kept down from its proper station, through the conduct of its local authorities, who had, on a very re cent occasion, refused to call them together,_ to deliberate upon a,Subject which had excited the whole country, and which Could have no connexion with its politics, generally —being that of slavery in the West Indies. The, requi sitionists waited for some time, for the merchants to call on the 'public authorities to hold a meeting; and, at length, they deteimined to be no ,longer silent speetitors of the ruin and misery whiCh were spreading all around them. After this the Committee met; and in conse quence of their deliberations, it, was now, to be proposed to the meeting to make a representation of the condition of the people of the town and the district to the King„ and to pray' him to call the Parliament together to ,divise means for mitigating those miseries which were now, ex citing the industriously disposed population of Lancashire, to Uproar, while most of them were without any thing like a sufficiency of the means of thousands of theth were dying,for want,—and - while others were barely kept alive by the scanty means of charity . He would now read the requisition, and afterwards he would be glad to hear the sentiments of those who might chooSe to speak, begging, them, however, to confine themselvei, for the sake of convenience, (and not to' . waste the time of the meeting,) as strictly as possible to the subject of the row lutions. rustic NEITTNG ON Tint CORN LAWS AND TAXATION. A requisition, signed by P 4 respectable laypayers, having been pre. sented to the churchwardens, requesting them to cult a meeting, to take into consideration the propriety cf addressing the'Hipg, praying him to convene. Parliament, - for the purpose of revising the . Corn laws, and of vitiating every possible reduction in the. national expenditure; and for the adoption of such other measures as may he deemed necessary to alle viate the unparalleled sufThring which now presses on the country, and which cannot. continue to Its present extent, without producing most dnaadild consequences ; and they having refused to call the meeting, and it being considered, from long experience, that an applieation to the ba. roughreeve and constables for a public meeting would be useless, parti. cularly after their conduct-relative to the requisition presented to them on the subject of shivery,--we, the undersigned, respectfully call a meet. lag of the laypayers of the town for the above purpose; to be held at eleven o'clock In the Parenoon, in the Manor Court Room, iliell.street. on Thursday next, the 17th inst.

'Hamlet Pulleine. Mr. RICHARD POITICR felt that no justification was necessary as to the steps taken to bring about this meeting. Surely, if ever there was a period in the history of any country, when all men were called upon to come forward for its immediate rescue, and to examine iota the causes of the general embarrassments and •afflic tions, it was this, in which a highly 'moral and powerful nation, possessing superabundant skill, capital, and industry, was found in a state more depressed than any other country in the world, Ireland not excepted. The resolution which he was about to pro- I pose for their adoption was this-- Ist. That this town, and the great manufacturing districts of which it is the centre and the mart, are snaring. at the present moment, under the pressure of distress, which is wholly utievampled in its extent and duration ; which has already brought to insolvency and ruin, great numbers of manufacturers and dealers, and merchants, whose honest acquisition , * appeared to have placed diem beyond the reach of embar rassment ; which Is daily .augluenting the difficulties of those whom at t grading them tato miserabledeperident* on the scanty pittance furnished i t i h a t !u n sa ot rid Y s e o u t'iririt h il e ari lili d ed in'dtis h t i r‘io h u l s is t t lu d n e rier odds. t o li f e a la n bo " u n ri lu nrelass ent e z a na , d n e y . by the sioor.rates, and by cluttiLuble rebeti which is continually addin g to the number or those who are to dependent l which is, at th e same time, gradually forcing down into the ranks of. the necessitous, many of thtt maims by whom. those rates have been paid and that relief h a* been given; and which is thus threatening to involve in all the horrors of starvation, this most thickly peopled portion of the three kingdoms. Fur a number of years past they had been subject to the greatest fluctuations in their commeree. At out, time they found them selves prosperous and happy. Suddenly a storm arose, which had carried confusion and dismay in its career, and was still desolating the country. Different causes had been assigned for this visitation and its terrific 'consequences. it was because -a t i tt transition from war to peace, according to one party ; was l a st year's overtrading, according to another account; it 'woe .ruinous speculation ; it was paper money in excess ; and, 1 1 -'4long all these, one great cause hat: been entirely lost sight ot; upon which they would now be able to express their 'suited °lnstitut—li t ; meant over taxation.--(Loud and vehement cheers).—Es suhjeet ,of equally great consideration, which would be offered to their at tention by another gentleman, was that of the Corn Lews. Ile would join his voice its awakening their attention to that all-important subject. He contended that 'lse exactions of Government must be seriously reduced, its their amount, or that England must sink finally in . the scale of nations. ' He had the authority of the greatetst names to support him ism that assertion. In the month of May Earl Grey had said in the House of Peers --" Whets In the eleventh year of peace he, found the country in a a we a deep dieresis, occasioned by tlye pressure and exposers Of si war which he had ever rondennse4, he fit that nothing ef fectual could be done for the people, unless Government took the matter seriously' in hand—unless Ministers evinced a feeling to probe to the bottom promptly and decidedly the cause which had produced so much 60 ; and having done so, applied them selves with equal promptitude to the adoption of those gene ral reforms 'which were absolutely necessary to restore time .country to a healthful and prosperdua state. If this were not stone, these distresses would collie on from time to time, in an aggrevatek fords and would ultimately' produce such a convulsion, as Ise hyped the country might recover from hereafter, but which the primmest gene ration could not pass through, without experienciorg a degree of suffering which he was not prepared to express ,or, describe." Such. were the word. of one of the greatest men in the State. In the spring of 1822, when the House of Commute was addressed by that very eminent statesman, Mr. Broughton, upon the state of the nation, he concluded with a declaration, that the only hope of salvation for the country lay in a formidable reduction of its pecu niary burdens. Fortified by these authorities, he would now proceed to affirms, that Minister., in their late measures, had either gone too far, or not fur enough, and that free trade, cheap corn, and low taxation ought to be simultaneous in effect, and synotty mous in their general understanding..--(Loud cheers.)-,—He, in common with their worthy chairman, was one of the Committee for the distribution of funds. They had, in that capacity, been re t the Frequentlyafemily huddlede Y' en littiel:reierde ' it e tV d ot Vi i egi li could u al r b: y el serifs loos of " t t v h i d e e tie (11,1ellatteaintuidltelea'fo.ofundwhthle wretchedness around a few miserable embers.
